U.S. News & World Report has ranked the hospital in the top five in one or both of its specialties since the magazine began publishing its annual survey of hospitals in 1990. This year’s top hospitals were chosen from hospitals across the country. Mass. Eye and Ear is one of only 140 hospitals nationwide which ranked high enough to be considered for the magazine’s top-ranked hospitals. The magazine ranks the 50 highest scoring hospitals.

“Mass. Eye and Ear physicians, nurses and staff provide high quality, world-class specialty care every day. It's gratifying to be recognized by U.S. News and World Report for this care,” said Mass. Eye and Ear President and CEO John Fernandez.
U.S. News & World Report conducts the “America’s Best Hospitals” survey in collaboration with RTI International in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
